Nashville 2016 Gay Pride

Celebrating Tennessee's largest gay pride festival

Having steadily developed into the most prominent and dynamic centers of gay culture in the South, the capital of Tennessee hosts the highly popular Nashville Gay Pride Festival each June. This year, the dates are at the end of the month: June 25 and 26, 2016. The event once again takes place at downtown's scenic Public Square Park, a few blocks north of Riverfront Park.

The festival features a slew of noted performers and takes place on Friday from 6 until 11 pm, and then again on Saturday from 10 am until 6 pm, again at Public Square Park. Entertainment is held on two stages and also featured are community businesses and organizations, an artists village, an ​Equality Walk held at 10 am on Saturday (it starts at the Pride festival grounds), and more.

Nashville Pride has some great headlining music acts this year, including En Vogue, Bonnie Mckee, Raja, and many others.There are also a number of related events taking place on the days leading up to Pride - ​here's a full calendar.
